Low FODMAP Breakfast - Vegetable fritatta:
The beauty of a fritatta is that you can include any of your favorite low FODMAP vegetables.

Low FODMAP veggies include bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, and much more.

Low FODMAP Breakfast Omelette with veggies and starches
Eggs are an easy, low FODMAP protein that are perfect for breakfast. If you don't tolerate whole eggs, try an egg white omelette as this may be better tolerated in some individuals with IBS. The thing I like about eggs is their versatility. For me, eggs are all about what you pair them with. In this case, eggs can be paired with some low FODMAP veggies to make a delicious omelette (or scrambled eggs, if that's easier). My recommendation for a breakfast omelette is to stick to 1 or 2 half cup servings servings of low FODMAP veggies (so that's a total of 1 cup max veggies per omelette). The following low FODMAP veggies go great in eggs:
-
Red and green bell peppers (1/2 cup)
-
Broccoli florets (3/4 cup)
-
Bok choy (1 cup)
-
Zucchini (1/2 cup)
-
Kale (1/2 cup)
-
Spring onion/scallion - green part only (1 bunch)
-
Spinach (1 cup)
-
Tomato (1 small)
To accompany the eggs, potatoes make a great side. Potatoes (1 medium) are a low FODMAP and make a nice side to omelettes or scrambled eggs. For ease, try precooking (pre-boiling) potatoes the day before and lightly pan-frying them while your eggs are cooking. If you are sensitive to too much oil (or fried foods), simply reheat potatoes and flavor with herbs, like dill or rosemary.
